THE LAW AFFECTING TESri-
MONY,

In 1882, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, a man named Goetz was killed
ON the water front by Luke Carly. The
principal witness OF the tragedy was
Carl Anderson, and on three successive
trials of Carly for the homicide he was
present and gave his testimony. But
now, when a fourth trial Of the case is
impending, Anderson cannot be found,
and his absence will probably secure
Carty's acquittal. The circumstances OF
this case show the necessity Of a law
providing a way for preserving the testi-
mony Of witnesses in criminal cases.
Anderson, before he disappeared, was
confined for a long time in the House OF
Correction as a means of securing his
evidence. In fact, he was in prison
much longer than the homicide, and it is
not surprising that, indignant at his
treatment, he took the first opportunity
OF leaving the city. His Imprisonment
under the circumstances was an outrage.
and there would have been no necessity
for it if the law had permitted his testi-
mony to be reduced to writing in the
presence Of the accused, with full priv
ilege of cross.examination, and then
read as evidence in the trial. But the
limitations Of law in the matter OF evi.
dence in criminal trials is very narrow
and seem to be imposed rather to aid the
guilty to escape punishment than to
vindicate the innocent and protect 30.
ciety.
The frequency of murder Of late, and
the liability Of witnesses to disappear,
we think imposes on the Legislature the
duty of SO amending the law that testi.
mony like that of Anderson can be pre-
served in writing for future use. Indeed,
testimony given at one criminal trial.
when reduced to writing, ought to be
allowed to be read at a subsequent trial.
There is no earthly reason why it should
not be done; and it seems to us that such
a law is an indispensable adjunct to
criminal procedure in this State. And
the matter is we'll worth the attention of
the Legislature.
The imprisonment of Anderson would
have been avoided had such = law ex-
listed. 1t was a cruel and barbarous
thing to do. under any circumstances,
and civilization should possess means for
vindicating the law outside of an expe-
dent at once intolerable and justified
neither by the dictates of common sense
nor the principles of humanity.

JUDGE WALLACE heard argument in the
United States Circuit court, equity part,
last week, in the application of the Bell
Telephone Company against the Globe
Telephone Company, for an Injunction
restraining the Globe Company from
making, using or selling telephones in
violation of the Bell patents. The Globe
Company filed an application in Septem-
Der, 1885, to have the Bell patent vacated.
The Bell Company sought to get an in
junction against the defendants, which
was denied year ago by Judge Wallace.
He held that the defendants had the right
to petition the government to vacate the
Bell patents, the right to make all neces-
sary experiments to test and to procure
instruments that would not infringe on
the Bell patents, and that they had a
right to prosecute a claim Of priority over
Bell in the Patent Office.

THE Democracy began business in life
as the organ of the people in opposition
to the party that was afraid to trust the
people. Let the party of the people rem
ovate the old stand and resume business
there only. There may be some travail
in looping off the excrescences that have
attached themselves to the body, but it is
necessary. The people rule, and present
Democratic leaders may depend on it that
the people will use the scalpel if the lead

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS.

The fable of the bundle of rods is ap-
plicable to the American in q way which
is not always remembered; that is, that
there should be but one nationality among
the citizens of this republic. Willy poll
ticians, to forward their own schemes,
address themselves to the German or the
Irish clement, and work upon the pc
culiarities and passions of each, using
these as weapons in the strife for victory.
There should be no distinct elements to
war against each other, but the natural
lied American citizen should be as the
native born, and, laying aside all the
prejudices of the old country, adopt fully
the new, and enter heart and soul into
all efforts for the upbuilding and main
tenance of that government which so
generously extends its sheltering arm to

paper tC put its ipse dixit in the scales
against the record of that performance.
THE GAZETTE had its d fereECes with
the Twentieth Legislature; but it would
be manifestly unjust and unwise to ignore
all the splendid work done by that body
simply because it did not enact a law
this paper favored, or because it did
enact law his paper opposed. or be-
cause there were legislators who op-
pealed to the ignorance of their fellow
members on certain measures. The Leg
isl&ture was not elected TO do the will Of
eny newspaper but to represent the will
of the people, and while it is an Obiga-
ton upon newspapers TO discuss laws
proposed or enacted. TO the end that the
people may have all the Information at
tainable, it can only hurt the press itself
to condemn without reason. THE Ga
ZETTE believes that the new land law will
be demonstrated failure before the end
of the present administration, and this
paper does not think that even in some
stronger governments would rulers have
dared to empower prosecuting officer
with authority to institute trials hung
dreds of miles distant from the scene of
the offense; but because we criticize this
IaW shall we shut our eyes to a record
running through our columns and
bearing unimpeachable testimony to the
efficient work done by the men who
composed the Twentieth Legislature?
No one can find fault with newspaper
comment and criticism when not indis-
criminate, and the press should, in its
own interest, specify that law deemed bad
and name that member who voted against
laws deemed good, and not consign all
the work and all the members to a
sweeping condemnation as unmerited as
it is unWse.

WHERE IS THE "DODGLNG?"

Senator Coke does not need any cham
pion, being in every way competent to
conduct his own cause in any matter in
which he may be interested or concerned,
but it occurs to THE GAZETTE that some
of the papers are hardly disposed to do
Mr.. Coke justice in regard to his stand
on the prohibition question. The intima-
ton that he is dodging the issue does not
seem, as THE GAZETTE understands him,
TO be at all warranted by the facts in the
case. Mr.. Coke is given to using pretty
vigorous language, and in as terse words
as he could find he has said he is op-
posed, on principle, to prohibition, and
will vote against it. 1t would seem
there is nothing else for him to say on
the subject, unless he changes his mind
and announces that he will vote for the
amendment. It is about as likely
that he will do this as that John
Sherman will cease preaching protection
and take up the Frank Hurd idea
of free trade. SO far as the anti
Prohibitionists are con cerned they can, if
they will, draw great deal OF comfort
from Coke's letter TO the Dallas Herald.
IN fact it is about as valuable document,
in the way of campaign literature, as
they are likely to find, for there are thou
sands of old and young Democrats in
Texas who swear by Coke, and think it
eminently safe to follow his leadership in
all things. And as for the Prohibition
brethren, they have reason to rejoice that
the Senator respects the fiat of the state
convention and will not make canvass
of the state against prohibition. Coke
on the stump, dealing his sledge- hammer
blows against the amendment, would turn
thousands of votes that are now pretty
sure for the Prohibition side. In short,
Coke has acted very consistently. Every
body knows where he stands and why he
is there, and if there is any "dodging the
issue" in his course THE GAZETTE con-
tesses that it is unable to see the point.

project is one pregnant with good results
to Fort Worth and Tarrant county
Everything that tends to build up the
city is also power for good to the
county. The growth Of the city means
better local market and prices for the
county's products. The county desires
to locate the yard here, and the city will
aid in the movement because it will be of
material benefit to the trade of the city
and tend to strengthen that harmony be-
tween city and county, without which
neither can reap all the good possible

NE WSPAPERS AND LEGISLA
TURES

The customary post-adjournment crit
fcisms are now being circulated in the
newspapers of the state, but THE|GA-
zETTE notes with pleasure that the carp
ing critics are much fewer in number than
usual. Even the decayed chestnut that
"the Legislature has adjourned and the
people rejoice" found place in less than
dozen newspapers. No man can
read the record of the work performed by
the Twentieth Legislature, as 1t is being
daily printed in THE GAZETTE, without
conceding to the body from which the
work emanated intelligence, industry,
fidelity aud patriotism. The work speaks
for itself, and for the men who performed
it. That work will stand the test of COM
parison with any similar work of any sim
liar body. The people will read the rec
ord of the work done by the men sent to
Austin, and the people will resent unjust
or reckless comment on the work per-
formed or on the men who performed
the work. Let the newspaper caVilers
read the record of the work of
the Twentieth and tell their
readers what were the sins
of omission and commission Of that
body. The people are reading it and
they will judge the Legislature by it's
work and not by what newspapers may
say of the work or the members. News
papers may depend on it that the people
generally are now residing more than at
any previous time, aud the people will
know when newspapers are laboring
under a Misrepresentation of facts and
when they are but carping critics.
1t is neither expected nor desirable
that the press shall blindly commend and
indorse; that would be subserviencY,
despicable and dangerous; but news
papers should be fair and honest and
Just. The influence of newspapers in
Texas is being restricted by class Of
men whose highest conception OF jour
nalistic criticism is to "Salivste" public
men with or without cause. This con-
ception of duty is born of egotism, when
not due to youth or ignorance, and so
it happens the people Of Texas
have come to regard newspapers as
would-be bosses, or corrupt, or asses.
In its own behalf the press should
muzzle its dogmatists and "smart" men
and put aside the sin which doth so
easily beset US all, that of dealing with
public men and public servants as if they
had no claim to justice or fairness or
honesty. Very often it is the duty Of
newspapers, IN the public interest, to "set
down" on political Adventures, quacks
and demagogues; but when a body OF
public servants demonstrate in their work
their faithful performance of puolic
trusts it is worse than folly for news
